Georgia Highlands College (GHC) will present the virtual \u201cMomentous Tuesday @ GHC Speaker Series,\u201d beginning Tuesday, Sept. 29, at 1PM.<\/p>\n
The three-week long series, which is free and open to the public, will feature local business owners discussing their businesses and the path to their chosen career.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis speaker series is a collaboration drawing from GHC\u2019s annual Pathway Exploration event along with an opportunity to speak to local professionals about unique careers,\u201d Librarian Jessica Osborne said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Due to COVID-19, the in-person \u201cPathway Exploration\u201d informational fairs will not be held this semester. Instead, GHC faculty will be available to address questions and discuss education pathways and career options during the \u201cMomentous Tuesday\u201d events.<\/p>\n
The speakers for the series work in a variety of different fields, ranging from photography and live-event painting to environmental preservation and a plant-based food service.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese speakers are local professionals who came from backgrounds just like our students and were able to find satisfying careers in our area,\u201d Osborne said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Speakers will include representatives from businesses such as Rooted in the Loop, Cindy Harter Photography, IAmNotMaggie, Big Door Vineyards, Kris Lavender Wedding & Event Planning, Pettit Environmental Preserve and Pumpkinvine Gardens.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hope to generate interest in GHC\u2019s pathways by educating students about previously unknown opportunities within each field,\u201d Osborne said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
